1. Rule of cool: which army do you like the look of?
2. Economics: What is the cheapest complete army you can buy (on ebay)?
3. Playstyle: How does the army play (you may have to wait for a bit more insight as the new ed isn't truly out there yet)?
4. Fluff: Which army has a background that appeals to you, irrespective of how it looks or how it plays:

And if these aren't clear, roll a dice. Seriously, 5 index books, you can easily randomise.

So with the new rule spread Orks are looking interesting again. Bring on the Kans, lead off with boys as a shield, back up with the Kans, if you get them into assault they strike first with seriously snippy klaws, that has got to be fun and your average troopers are going to cop a double strength hit.

I need some help

Can someone please help me, I have some space marines (which I highly recommend as an army) but I can't decide Salamanders or Dark Angels? (if there are any other cool chapters any one can suggest I will have a look at it) I like both chapters and I can't decide between them.

I suggest reading one of the black library novels for inspiration. I went with Salamanders after reading Vulcan Lives.
